Effective Gaming Starts with Responsibility

At Fairplay, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our users. We are committed to creating a secure environment where sports betting and casino games remain a form of entertainment. Responsible gaming is the foundation of this commitment. Our platform provides the tools, resources, and guidelines necessary to help every player maintain complete control over their gaming activities and enjoy our services safely.

1. Introduction: Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means playing online betting and casino games in a safe, controlled, and sustainable way. It involves understanding your limits, avoiding chasing losses, and ensuring that betting remains a fun activity rather than a financial necessity. For Fairplay, this is more than a guideline—it is a core part of our mission to provide a trustworthy and secure betting environment for all our users in India. This policy outlines our commitment and the resources available to you.

2. Why Responsible Gaming Matters

Practicing responsible gaming is essential for a positive and sustainable experience. It directly impacts your financial security, mental well-being, and overall enjoyment of the platform. Key benefits include:

• Financial Safety: Prevents financial stress by ensuring you only bet what you can comfortably afford to lose.
• Mental Well-being: Reduces the risk of gambling-related anxiety and stress, keeping the experience fun and engaging.
• Positive Experience: Ensures that gaming remains a form of entertainment, not an obligation or a source of conflict.
• Healthy Balance: Helps maintain a proper balance between your gaming activities and other aspects of your daily life, such as work and family.

3. Fairplay Tools for Responsible Gaming

Fairplay provides a suite of advanced tools designed to empower you to play safely. These features are easily accessible from your account dashboard.

Tool	Description
Deposit Limits	Control your spending by setting a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is reached, you cannot deposit more until the period resets.
Betting Limits	Manage your wagers by setting a limit on the amount you can stake per bet or per day. This helps prevent large, impulsive bets.
Self-Exclusion	Take a complete break from betting by temporarily suspending your account for a period of your choosing. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets.
Reality Checks	Receive periodic on-screen reminders of your session duration and net position. These alerts help you stay aware of your activity and make informed decisions to continue or stop.
Time-Outs	Activate a short-term account lockout, typically for 24 hours, to step away and prevent impulsive betting decisions.

4. Tips for Safe Betting on Fairplay

Combining our tools with smart habits is the most effective way to ensure a safe experience.

• Set a Budget: Before you start playing, decide on a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. Never bet with money meant for essential expenses.
• Avoid Chasing Losses: Accept that losses are part of the game. Do not increase your stakes to try and win back money you have lost.
• Keep Gaming Fun: Treat betting as a form of entertainment, not a source of income or a solution to financial problems.
• Use Platform Tools: Proactively set deposit limits and use the self-exclusion feature if you feel you are losing control.
• Monitor Your Activity: Regularly review your betting history, deposits, and withdrawals to stay aware of your spending patterns.
• Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen periodically to clear your head and avoid getting overly absorbed in the game.

5. Recognizing Problem Gambling

It is important to be aware of the signs of problem gambling in yourself or others. Common indicators include:

• Spending more money or time on gambling than intended.
• Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling.
• Experiencing financial stress or borrowing money to gamble.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gaming habits.
• Chasing losses or trying to win back money repeatedly.
• Lying to friends or family about the extent of your gambling.

If you recognize several of these signs, we encourage you to use our self-assessment tools or seek professional help.

6. Support & Resources

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, professional help is available. Fairplay encourages seeking confidential support from these organizations:

• Gamblers Anonymous: A global fellowship providing support for individuals with gambling problems. Visit: https://www.gamblersanonymous.org
• Gambling Therapy: Offers free online support and counseling services.
• National Helplines: Many countries offer dedicated helplines. We advise searching for local mental health and addiction support services in your area.
